Hi Yellowfin,

I have a question. I have a report which do sum(leave_days_applied) and group by staff no. and I wish to use this data set to create a report which group the sum(leave_days_applied) and count how many staff in each category leave apply day in <50 days, 100 days and 150 days in annual.

If use query is something like:

SELECT a.total_leave, count(a.total_leave) as no_of_staff

from(

SELECT staff_no, sum(leave_days_applied) as total_leave

FROM leave

where leave_date between '2015-01-01' AND '2015-12-31'

Group by staff_no

) a

GROUP BY a.total_leave

Can I create this kind of report using drag and drop wizard instead of using SQL Query in Yellowfin 7.1?

Thank You.

Regards,

JR LEE

Hello,

Unfortunately report on report was not possible until Yellowfin 7.2 by using the drag and drop wizard.

If you would like to report on report, we highly recommend upgrading to the latest version of Yellowfin.

Please also be aware that support for 7.1 has officially finished and we are encouraging everyone still on this version to plan their upgrade to a supported version ASAP.

Best regards,

Pete
